Hey I say Emass when you set it up this year make the votes visible so we can all see who everyone voted for. Total transparency my man.
Its been a hell of a year and there are some great categories here! Good luck to all the nominees and thanks for the laughs, information, and sometimes just plain bull$hit.
carter bro, I contemplated that last time but in other polls that's definitely affected how later voters thought and voted. Transparent voting is arguably free of groupthink and completely individual. Things can get pretty political here and sides taken for sure. The great part about anonymous voting is that every last a$$hole has their vote count regardless of the next guy or guys that think entirely different. What's good about the SI polls is that it only let's you vote once. Needless to say, there's enough guys voting too for most Swellies that the deserving party usually wins even when a couple cats are trying to mess with voting.
